    Has anybody joined an EducoGym? There's one just opened beside my job so I was thinking of joining. I've read the waffle on their website about losing weight etc. All I'm really interested in is toning up a bit and maintaining a general level of fitness, don't need any major weight loss.

    Any ideas of the costs?

    I take it thats Tony Quinn?

    1. way over priced

    2. you're badgered into buying his products

    3. His products are muck in powder form

    4. If you show any interest they'll badger you to go on seminars for a mere €18K

    Thats it really

    Yes, that's the one. From jon's advice and other things I've read I don't think I'll be joining.

    Just want to bring this back into discussion.

    A family member has just joined this, & I think it's madness!

    Up to 42 tablets a day, with barely any food.
    How can that be marketed as 'healthy living'

    Has anyone successfully done this & or recommend it?
    Can't see how its claims can be realistic

    Maybe it's just all the recent media hype, but I couldn't help thinking "Ah, some irish guys version of scientology".

    Sounds like the Amino or and Amino Energise nonsense. Basically he's selling Amino Acids as weight loss products. Its the Atkins diet with a twist.

    They'll say eat healthy, train well and take Amino Acids - oh and by the way pay €600 to use our gym.
    Its common sense wrapped up in a rip off deal.

    Tony Quinn? Hahahaha. Oh dear. His staff are the most pushy, s**te-talking idiots I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I stopped buying stuff from his kiosks (all over town) because I can't stand being badgered by the irritating psycho bullies that work there. Avoid anything to do with this idiot at all costs (and it WILL cost).

    I've done a programme with them, now use the same techniques in my own Gym. Never been in better shape. You dont have to do the supplememnts if you dont want to. Its worth the $$ in my opinion.

    Having met a good deal of TQ's members from Eccles street I can say that 3 of them are getting better results in Herc for less money after they switched gyms when they seen how much the rest of us were paying for gyms.
    O and one guy was chastised for telling other gym members about our shop in Phibsboro, so cut the nonsense. I've also been victim to their bullying tactics to get me on one of their seminars, they give me the heeby jeebies.

    Same as the other thread, closing because i hate old stuff being dragged up.

    Wouldn't have minded so much were it not by the same poster on both occasions. Say what you want once and i will believe you have no interest, say it twice and i don't.
